[@kellywolstenholme8134]

Karla Kirkpatrick A scientific theory is different than a layman's theory. A scientific theory is, essentially, "There is no way to observe this and thus definitively prove this, but all evidence points to this as the reality." Gravity is a theory. We can see stuff falling and observe that we don't float away until we enter space, but we technically can't see gravity, only the effects. But gravity is what makes sense, so it's a theory. The same is true of the Big Bang. I think that what you consider a theory, is actually a hypothesis.
